Well If the pricing was different and more competative would you consider buying more games didital?

With the current gen I have wanted to buy more games digital but the pricewall has always stoped me from doing so, Here in the UK retail is usually £39.99 or£44.99 and and the digital equivlent is £49.99 and £54.99

The most extreme example i saw was Final Fantasy Type-0 on the PS4 ( not sure if X1 was same) This was £34.99 retail or £54.99 digital.

I would really like to see some more competative digital pricing and if they released all digital games for £34.99 and retail at £44.99 I would probably buy most of my games as digital and since I wouldnt resell it down the line it would make the publishers more money in the long run since selling it after 1-2 months giving someone a pre owned copy takes away from a full price £44.99 sale. 

Refering to console digital prices as steam is already good for PC gaming prices.

Do you even Steam bro?



I'm already digital now, so it wouldn't make a difference to me.

Yes played many games on steam over the years but this was more for the console side of it, will add it to the OP.



I don't buy games more expensive than 15-20€ digitally. I may not get the biggest titles digitally, but I would try a lot more games. So yes, more digital games, please.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Hell yes!



I would only buy games digitally, is when my local stores doesn't have stock of the game (like how it was released a couple months or years ago, or the physical copy is not available in my region) But YES! I would love if they do that, especially how your not going to be paying for the game box, disc, what ever paper inside, and the transportation. And we should even pay cheaper for being environmentally friendly



Pocky Lover Boy!

If console digital pricing even came close to Steams I would probs have gone all digital by now. 



No, because I still wouldn't be absolutely sure I would own a game indefinitely.



Nope, I like having a box
